Crystallized Gold Wire
Placer County, California 
This impressive native gold specimen displays wires of dendritic gold crystals branching out on complex overlapping habits. This unique formation of gold is a first for its locality and never before seen from our understanding. These gold wires are lustrous and a rich buttery yellow color which tells us it's a high purity gold content as well. The wire gold crystals modified into thick elongated leaf plates on a brown limonite matrix.
